The hair started upon his head,and ho strained his eyes to the, utmost toperceive the object of his terror.- Heeaugluthe glimpse of iwo faint yellow lights at adistance from him; he thought it might bean opticttl delusion produced by his ownearnest gnze; but as tho rays of the moonentered the chinks of the cave he distinctlysaw an enormous animal lying oboui twofeet from him. There was not sufficientlight to distinguish what species of animalit was; it might be a lion, a tiger, or crocodile; but the strong odor thai filled the caveleft no doubt of the presence of some largeand terrible creature.When tho moon rose so as to shine directly upon the opening in the grotto, iisbeams lighted the beautiful spotted hide of ahuge panthsr! The; lion of Egypt 'sleptwiih her head upon her paws, with the comfortable dignity of a greatjtouse. dog. .,. Horeyes, which opened from time to time, werenow closed. Her fuco was turned towardsthe Frenchman. A thousand confusedthoughts passed through the soldiers bosom.His first idea was to shoot his enemy thro'the head; but he saw there was not roomenough for that; the ball would inevitablyhave pifssed her. He dared not make theslighest movement, lest he should awakeher; nothing broke the deep silence, but thebreath of tho panther and the beating of hisheart. Twice he put his hnnd upon hisscimetar, but the difficulty of penetratingher hard rough skin made him relinguishthe project. To attempt her destruction,and fail would be instant death. At allevents he resolved to wait for daylight. Daycame ut last, aud showed the jaws of thesleeping panther covered with blood."She has eaten lately," said the Frenchman to himself. "She will not awaken inhunger."She was in truth a beautiful , monster.The fur on her throat and ep was of adazzling whiteness; a circle of little darkspois like velvet, formed pretty braceletsround her paws her large muscular tailwas beautiful white, terminated by blackrings; and the soft smooth fur on her bodywas of u glowing yellow, like unwroughtgold, richly shuded with dark browy spotsin iho form of roses.This powerful but tranquil hostess reposed in as graceful an nuiiude as a puss sleeping on a footstool. Her head stretched onnervous outstretched paws, from which herlong white smellers spread out like silverthreads. Had she been in a cage, theFrenchman would certainly have admiredthe 'perfect symmcicry of her dark form,anil the rich contrast of colors that gavesuch an imperial brilliancy to her robe; butulone. and in her power, it was a differentthing. At the mouth of tho cannon hjhadfelt his couiage rising with increasing danger, but it wis sinking now. The cold sweatpoured from his forehead as he saw thenam r.pr. Uonsiderins litmsell aly as he could. When the sun rose, ihenamhe'r suddenly opened her eves, stretch-d out her paws und gasped, showing afrightful row of teeth, and u great tongue ashard and as rough as o file. She thenshook herself, nnd began to wash lier bloodypaws, passing them from time to lime overher cars like a kitten. "Very well done,thought the soldier, who felt his gaiety andcotiriigo returning "sne aoes iter loueihandsomely." He seized a liulo doggerwhich he bad taken from one of the Arabs"Come, let us wish each other good morn-intr." ihouuhi he. At this moment thepanther turned her head towards him suddenlv. and fixed a suprised and earnestgaze upon him.Tho fixedness of her bright metalliceyes, and their almost insupportable brilliancy, made the soldier tremble, especiallywhen the mighty beast moved toward him.With great boldness and presence of mindhe looked her directly in the eye, havingoften heard that great power may bo obtained over animals in that mannet. Whenshe came up to him, he gently scratched herhead and smoothed her lur. Her eyes graduully sofiened, she began to wag her tail.and at last she purred like a petted cat: butso deep and strong were her notes of joy,that they resounded through the cave like achurch organ.1 he r retichman redoubled Ins caressesand when he thought her ferocity was sufficientlv turned, he aiirmpted to leave thegrotto. The panther made no opposition toIns going out; but she came bounding alterhim, lilting up her back and rubbing againrthim like an afiecuonaio kitum. "the re(in ires a great (leal ol attention, 6niu me.... . . .i.ifrenchman, smilling.

The soldier suddunly thought that, to kilt her with one blowho ,must strike her in tho throat, lie raisd blade for thai purpose-biii ai thnimnuiiMifshe crouched down at his teeC looking lip in "his fuse with a strnngo mixture ofiilb ciion and nutivo .fierceness.- 1 hu poorFienchnian leaned against the tree, .eatingsome dates, and casting his eye anxiouslyaround the desert, to see If no ono was coming to IVeo him from his terrible companion,w hose sirange friendship was so little to betrusted. Ilo offered to feed her with somenuts and dates," but she looked upon themwith supreme contempt., However, os ifsensible of his kind intentions, she lickedhis shoes and purred."Will she be so when sho gets hungry 1"thought the Frenchman.Tho idea niodu him tremble., i He lookedat the size of the panther. She was ihreifeci high and foui fuel long, without including her tail, which was nearly three hVimore in length, and "as round a.t, n greatcudgel." () N E CO UN TR Y, . Her head, was as bij. as a lion's, and herface was distinguished by a peculiar expression of cunning. ' The cold cruelty of thepanther reigned there; .but there was likewise .something strangely liko iho countenance of an artful woman, in the gaietyand fondness of the present moment., . Shehad her fill of blood, and she wished tofrolic. . , , : ; - -,: During the whole day, if he attempted towalk away, the panther watched him as, ndog does his master, and never suffered himto be far out of sight. ; Be discovered theremains of his horse, which had been dragged near the mouth of the cavern, and heeasily understood why she had respected hisslumbers. . ' . : ; :'; .-.Taking couroge from the past, he beganto hope he could gpt along very comfortablywith his new companion.' ' He laid himselfbeside her, in order to conciliate her goodopinion. Hn patted her neck, and she beganto woe her tail and purr. Ho took hold ofI her paws, felt ..her, ears, rolled her oyer thegrass, bhe sutlered htm to do an tnis; anawhen he played with her paws, she carefully drew in her claws, lest she should hurthim. The Frenchman again put his handupon his weapon, with a view of plungingit into her throat, but he was still held byihe fear that the animal would kill him inher agony. Besides, he really began to havean unwillingness to kill her. In the lonelydesert, she seemed to him like a friend.--Hisadmiration of her h auiy, gentleness,graceful activity, became mixed with lessand less of terror. He actually named herMignonnc, in remembrance of a lady whomhe had loved in his youth, and who wusabominably jealous of him. By the end ofthe day, hu had become so fumiliar with hisdangerous, situation, that he was almost inlove with its exciting perils. He hud eventaught the punthcr her name. She lookedup in his face when he called "Mignonne."When the sun weni down, she uttered adeep and melancholy cry."She is well educated." exclaimed thesoldier. "She has learnt to say her eveningprayers.He rejoiced to see the panther stretch herself nut in a drowsy attitude." 1 hat is right, my prettv biande, saidhe. "You had better go to sleep first."He trusted to his own activity to. escapeduring her slumber. He waited patiently;and when she seemed sound asleep, howalked vigorously toward the Nile. Buthe bad nut gone a quarter of a leagueover the sand, when he heard the pantherbounding after him, uttering at intervals aong. sharp cry.Of a truth," said he, "her Iriendslnp isery flattering; it must be her first love."Before she came up, the Frenchman fellinto one of those dangers traps of loosesand, from whieh it is impossible to extricate one's self. Tho panther seized hi'm bythe collar, and with ir.crediblo strengthbrought him to the other side of the ditch atsingle bound. ."My dear Mignonne!". exclaimed thesoldier, caressing her with enthusiasm, "ourfritendship is for life or death. 'He retraced his steps. Now, that he hadcreature that loved him, to whom hecould talk, it seemed as if the desert weie.peopled. Having mode a signal flag of hisshin, he concluded to wail patiently for hu-mnn succor. It was his intention to havewatched during the night, but sleep overpowered him. When ho awoke, Mignonnewas gone, lie ascenoeu tne eminence look lor her, and soon perceived her at adistance, clearing the desert with long, higlibounds.When receiving his caresses, sho purredaloud, and fixed her eyes upon him witheven more fondness than usual. The soldierpatted her on the neck, and talked to her ashe would to a domestic animal: "Ah, uh,Miss! you have been eating some of theMangrabin. Ain't you ashamed? Nevermind; ihete are worse animals than youare. But please don't take a fancy to grindup a Frenchman. If you do, yon won'thave mo to lovo you any more.1 his singular animal was so fond ot caresses ond play, thai il her companion satmany minutes without noticing her, ' shewould put her paw in his lup to attract attention. several days passed thus.1 he panther was elwavs successlul inher excursions for food, nnd always returned full of affection and joy. She becameused lo till tho inflections of the soldier'svoice, and understood the expressions of hisface. Sometimes he amused his wearyhours by counting the spots on her goldenfur, and observing how beouultilly iheywere shnUcd; she showed no displeusureeven w hen he held her by the tail . to countthe splendid whito rings,, that glittered inthe sunshine like precious 'stones.
